Prompt: Describe a time when uncertainty led to something good.
I’m hoping that the surgery required to fix my broken wrist is going to lead to something good. In a moment, everything in my life was quickly reprioritized. All of a sudden, what I’m capable of had a limit set on it. Looking forward, I have no idea what I’ll be able to do and to what extent.
(more…)Today’s prompt: What rhythm are you moving with right now – and does it feel like your own?
I feel like Elaines Benes, from Seinfeld, dancing. There’s clearly movement, predictable motions even, but it’s so terse and disjointed that it’ll never match a steady beat. I don’t seem to be getting the same pleasure out of it as she did.
(more…)Our water heater has been on the fritz for a couple of days. The plumber was supposed to come by yesterday to look at it but there was a miscommunication and he didn’t show. Today, he did. After a couple of hours, they – there were two of them – decided they had resolved the issue and left. I went to take a shower, only to find out that there was still no hot water.
(more…)The girls slept peacefully in both of my parents’ arms while they were visiting tonight. She hasn’t given us a break since they left, over two hours ago. I don’t understand what’s going on with her feeding. She’ll fall asleep while driving from the bottle, hasn’t really been burping, and then cries for food within 90 seconds of putting her down. I rarely write these posts on my phone and directly into WordPress, preferring a full-sized keyboard and Word for typing.
I’m having to make choices these days. Last weekend, I ordered a medicine cabinet for my bathroom. There are things all on the sink counter that would be better tucked away. It arrived a couple of days ago. Tonight, I got a chance to assemble it. Now, it’s waiting in the living room until I have the chance to put it up on the wall. Could be tomorrow, but it may not be.
This picture summarizes the day fairly well:
Just as I was finishing hollowing out the top of this would-be baby rattle, I got a bad catch that split the piece.
To add to that, I forgot to post this last night so I’m doing it on the morning of the 20th.
I want to build a successful business. It’s one of those things that I really want but am not working toward effectively. Two or three years ago, I felt as though I was making progress. In the last year or so, I’ve felt stagnant. The progress I was making was slow going but it was going. Lately, not so much.
(more…)The goal for today was just to go look at strollers to help us make sense of the descriptions we’ve been reading online. Of course, by the end of the day we had purchased one. We didn’t search far and wide for one, visiting only three stores. ChatGPT was incredibly useful when doing some research, too.
(more…)It’s the same thing every summer. Here we are, just over halfway through, and I don’t know where the time has gone. Of course, there are more things that I would like to do than I’ll get time for, and there are the things that simply have to get done.
(more…)The days have been whizzing by. All of a sudden, it’s time to crawl into bed, quickly followed by the option to snooze. I want so much more to happen during my waking hours. I have ideas.

I tried to publish a blog post yesterday only to find out that the website has been down for a while. What was meant to be a quick, 15- to 20-minute thing turned into me trying to figure out DNS settings with blurry eyes until about midnight. Somehow, I ended up getting it to work.
(more…)All I needed from today was time to sleep. After waking up, I went through my regular morning routine. Within a couple of hours, after a travel mug hit me in the face, I was ready for a nap.
